Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

So far all I've done with 5.4 is sucked a few files off the SD card from the command prompt.
Just wondering how it works in context with other running code. The manual doesn't mention if it can be used within code or not.
For example;....
[Code] SETTICK 5000, FiveSecInterupt, 1
Open "Com1:9600,,RecComs,10" as #1
Do
Stuff .. .. Other Stuff etc .. IF SendFileFlag=1 Then XMODEM SEND "DataLog.csv" End If .. .. More Stuff
Loop[/code]
So in the above, if we set that flag to trigger the transfer, interacting with a menu via teraterm for example, pause the code while the transfer takes place, or does it happen as a background process?
And if it was a largish file what would happen if either of the interrupts were triggered?
Or have I got it completely wrong & it's a command prompt only transfer.
